What is lost from the DVD's MPEG program stream? The IFOs aren't 
automatically copied, but that can be done manually and they only seem 
to be needed for subtitle rendering. I've always copied VOBs to a hard 
drive before encoding. I've used both tccat (from transcode) and mplayer 
with -dumpstream. I've never encountered any problems decoding them.
